Re: Ground Tackle For Chessie Mud
I have a 33# Spade (Model 80) that came with the boat. It's a great anchor and I sleep well when it's down. I've read that its main advantage over some of the other "next gen" anchors is that by not having a roll bar it fits a wider range of bow rollers. I know that the roll bar is intended to keep the anchor upright on the bottom, but I haven't had issues with setting the Spade. That said, I can't say that I've yet put its resetting ability fully to the test in situations of extreme wind or current reversal. I know other members have used other "next gen" anchors on the Bay and have been happy with their performance also.
I also have a Fortress 16 that's worked surprisingly well in the Chesapeake mud. Without a windlass on my boat I've gotten more use out of it than the Spade, putting it down on calm nights and only wrestling with the big Spade if weather is expected or when rafting. If I had a windlass, the I'd reverse that but would definitely still keep the Fortress aboard.

Red Hook Recreation Area
The Daily Plant : Wednesday, November 13, 2013
'Solar For Sandy' Initiative Launches
'Solar for Sandy' Install at Red Hook Recreation Center Brings Back-Up Solar Power to Brooklyn Community Devastated by Hurricane Sandy; Project Marks One-Year Anniversary of Superstorm
Global Green USA recently announced that NYC Parks' Red Hook Recreation Center in Brooklyn is the first official beneficiary of its 'Solar For Sandy' resiliency initiative. Designed to bring grid-tied, back-up solar energy systems to five or more community facilities that serve urban areas hit hardest by the superstorm, the 'Solar for Sandy' initiative was announced last June at the Clinton Global Initiative America. Global Green's inaugural 'Solar For Sandy' installation will take place in collaboration with lead funder IKEA, the world's largest home furnishings retailer, which has a store just a few blocks from the recreation center and with support from NYC Parks.
The announcement was held near the one-year anniversary of the hurricane that overwhelmed the East Coast last October when Sandy wreaked havoc on the historic Brooklyn neighborhood, leaving the Red Hook Recreation Center and local residents without power for weeks. The catalytic 'Solar For Sandy' program will provide an indispensable resource to this resilient community as it continues to rebuild and recover from the aftermath of the storm.
The solar installation will provide essential back-up energy capacity, help mitigate future power blackouts and provide expanded emergency services, making the recreation center a safe and reliable haven during crises. Upon completion of the build, the Red Hook community will have access to critical resiliency features, including:
• A safe, lit and centrally-located gathering point;
• Heating, cooling and ventilation;
• Communications services, such as cell phone and laptop charging stations;
• Energy efficient lights;
• Refrigeration for food and emergency medicine.
Furthermore, the solar system will produce energy on an ongoing basis, lowering energy bills and resulting in overall savings for the Recreation Center.
At this inaugural site, Global Green USA will install solar panels donated by Suntech Power Holdings Co. This installation is a model that Global Green hopes becomes standard in community and emergency centers in low lying, vulnerable areas. The Red Hook Recreation Center, one of 35 NYC Parks Recreation Centers citywide, offers cardio equipment, weight lifting, and exercise classes. In the summer, the park hosts an Olympic sized outdoor pool which draws thousands of visitors every year.

"It is not the object of this book to ask anything of you, but to tell you that
salvation is ALL OF GRACE, which means, free, gratis, for nothing." Charles
Spurgeon is a cornerstone of the Christian religion. A preacher and teacher,
his sermons have spread all over the world and his many printed works have been
treasured classic for decades. All of Grace is a simple and eloquent
presentation of basic salvation through grace alone. Spurgeon wants readers
only to consume his work and ponder it, he asks nothing in return because he
believes in the power of God to bring unbelievers to Him. As one reviewer puts
it well: "[Spurgeon] brings the gospel to his readers with pointed
illustrations, well-placed anecdotes, irrefutable arguments, heart-felt pleas,
and (above all else) the plainly-spoken and rightly-applied word of God." This
short and easy read is both a perfect introduction to salvation and an
assurance of it for unbelievers and the saved alike. In the last line,
Spurgeon beseeches readers to accept salvation now and "Meet me in heaven."

I live with my husband David, our dogs Ventoux and Toby, our cat Lily and 3 hens. We both love the Dorset coast, the Isle of Purbeck in particular. We enjoy hiking the coastal path, boating,canoeing and generally take advantage of living in the relaxed atmosphere of this area.
Patricia Smith purchased this bungalow in 2005
We have lived in this area for 30 years and find the relaxed atmosphere of living by the coast in such a beautiful are hard to beat. I think that most guests who stay at Pinetop feel the same.
All the living area and garden are on one level. Pinetop is in a tranquil area you can be in Poole in 5 minutes and the beaches in 15 minutes.
We had such a happy and relaxed time at Pinetop. Gorgeous Cottage.......loved it.
Thank you for the welcome, and helping with the dentist appointment.
We are returning to Pinetop Cottage in 2010, after staying for a month in 2009. Excellent location, private and comfortable situation. All amenities on site. Clean, with good interior decoration. Patio and garden. What more can we say - it's a great holiday destination, located close to shopping, sea, heritage sites and Jurassic coast.
We stayed in this lovely cosy cottage for a long weekend in April. We found comfy beds, the cottage was beautifully clean and homely and so quiet and peaceful we didn't want to leave! Ideally situated for anyone wanting to explore Poole and the local attractions.
A very pretty cottage in a quiet area with a charming landlady living next door, which is helpful, when a question arises.
The cottage is extremely well equipped, including a stock of tourist information, that probably would put a real Tourist Office to shame - very helpful.
In case there is a spell of rain and you don´t want to go out all day, there is a choice of family games, books, CDs and DVDs.
Alternatively you could probably cook a 3 course menue without running out of anything you might need in the kitchen, cutlery, crockery, pots,...
It´s certainly a good base to discover this part of Dorset (but you do need a car), a variety of interesting places / walks are within reach (the Pier and Oceanarium at Bournemouth, Poole Harbour, Kingston Lacy, Corfe Castle, Old Harry´s Rock,...)
We had a very pleasant stay - thank you!
Pinetops is a really comfortable and well located bungalow for access to all Poole has to offer. The accommodation was clean and provided everything we needed for a week's holiday. We would recommend it to anyone who wants to visit the area.
We found this cottage by chance and we was very pleased with it, it was very clean and tidy there was everything we needed - home from home, it was very child and pet friendly. Patricia was always there if we needed her. It was very easy to get to the town centre and the Quay, parking was reasonable. We tried to book again for this year but the week we wanted was already booked. I would recommend this holiday let to family and friends. We had a very enjoyable stay in Poole.
Many thanks
Gwen and Jim Brock
We spent a fantastic week at Pinetops in March. The cottage was lovely, clean and homely and very well equipped. Patricia and David were very welcoming and helpful. Pinetops is situated in a quiet residential area with easy access to Poole and the surrounding area so very well situated for sightseeing and the beach. There are a couple of lovely old pubs nearby serving good food and a whole array of restaurants in Poole itself.
There was so much to see and do around Poole. The town itself is very interesting with an historic quarter. We enjoyed admiring the houses at Sandbanks and its beautiful beach. Further afield we loved the gardens at Exbury and taking the car ferry over to Studland and Corfe Castle. So much to do and see that a week is not enough in this lovely part of the world- we will just have to return and I would certainly reccommend Pinetops to our friends and family.
Pinetop holiday cottage is situated in a quiet wooded cul de sac, 5 minutes drive from Poole and the coast.

"Being too charming was never one of my faults." - Kill Me Later
Mine ::
about me.
Powered by Blogger. |
It appears that outrage over the offensive (to Muslims) cartoon has yet to subside and those peace-lovin folk are still out and about causing a ruckus and burning things down. Quite a few bloggers have been addressing the silence from the left that truly irrirates me. My favorite article so far is from Mark Steyn (via Michelle Malkin): I can't wait to watch some liberal pundit dance on this subject...first a defense of the "Muslim outrage" over the cartoons, followed by a bob-and-weave when O'Reilly or Hannity or whoever brings up their defense of "free speech" when Christianity is disrespected or the Virgin Mary is covered in poop.
We must respect the cultural and religious values of the Muslim savages. After all, the Muslims are so backward that they burn things down when they get angry, while Christians who become upset by a piece of art--subsidized with their own money-- are more likely to vote or write a letter to the editor to voice displeasure. Which do you prefer? I prefer the Christians over the Muslim savages.

Microderm treatments are good for me. My at-home skin care regimen consists of: cleanser, moisturizer, and eye cream, with the rare exfoliating gentle scrub.

It's basically a more intense exfoliation than I'm ever going to give myself, and the post-treatment lotions and potions do leave my... more

Company: In Hand Video

Critical Rating: AA
Genre: Feature
At the end of Black and Beyond, we are told that the story is "to be continued." That's good. Because it will take Part 2 to figure out what is going on in Part 1. My best guess, and it's just that, is that Jeannie Pepper playing a black hermaphrodite, is a witch with a tarantula as a familiar (a black cat isn't good enough?). This little monster visits Bionca and Tianna and evidently causes them to get involved in various and sundry sexual situations. Squeezed into the short running time is everything that makes life worth living: an enema, boy-boy action, an interracial scene with this year's phony hermaphrodite, Jeannie, and some straight boy-girl play. Dialogue is at a minimum so all plot development herein is inferred. Action is standard with no standouts. Maybe Part 2 will bring better results.

I bought these boots for my 8 year old daughter who is an aggressive skier who loves to go anywhere on the mountain and loves to race. She can easily get the boots on and off by herself, says they are super comfortable, and has never had a problem with cold feet. Well worth every penny I paid, plus some!
Bought for my 8 year old who loves to ski downhill and has just begun racing. She says they are extremely comfortable, and she is skiing great in them.

Naucalpan, officially Naucalpan de Juárez, is a city and municipality located just northwest of Mexico City in adjoining State of Mexico. The name Naucalpan comes from Nahuatl and means "place of the four neighborhoods or four houses. "de Juárez was added to the official name in 1874 in honor of Benito Juárez.[1] The history of the area begins with the Tlatilica who settled on the edges of the Hondo River between 1700 and 600 B.C.E., but it was the Aztecs who gave it its current name when they dominated it from the 15th century until the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire. Naucalpan claims to be the area where Hernán Cortés rested on the "Noche Triste" as they fled Tenochtitlan in 1520, but this is disputed.[2] It is the home of the Virgin of Los Remedios, a small image of the Virgin Mary which is strongly associated with the Conquest and is said to have been left here.[3] Today, the city of Naucalpan is actually larger than the municipality itself, with part of it extending into neighboring Huixquilucan Municipality. It is a major center of industry in Mexico. It is, however, best known as the location of Ciudad Satélite, a development from the 1960s and the site of the Toreo de Cuatro Caminos bullring, which was recently demolished.[1][4] The only unurbanized areas of the municipality are the Los Remedios National Park and a number of ejidos, however, the lack of housing has put serious pressure on these areas.[5][6]
The Valley of Mexico, of which Naucalpan is a part, has been inhabited by humans for over 20,000 years.[1] The history of Naucalpan begins with a group called the Tlatilca who settled on the edges of the Hondo River between 1700 and 600 BCE,[2] in what is now modern Nacaulpan, Totolinga and Los Cuartos. During the Preclassic period (1400 to 1300 BCE) a group of Olmecs arrived and had significant influence on the dominion of Tlatilca. Later, Tlatilca was also heavily influenced by the Teotihuacan civilization.[1] Between 1000 and 1200 CE the Chichimecas conquered the Tlatlica and deposed their monarchy. The Pyramid del Conde was built during this time, located in what is now the El Conde neighborhood.[2] Later in the pre-Hispanic period, the area was governed by Tlacopan (Tacuba) and became ethnically dominated by the Otomi. Starting from 1428, the area was under the dominion of Tepanece de Atzcapotzalco, which was later conquered by the Aztec Triple Alliance,[1] who gave it the name of Naucalpan.[2] On 30 June 1520, Hernán Cortés fled Tenochtitlan toward what is now Naucalpan. According to legend, he wept under a Montezuma Cypress tree, which is believed by some to be located at the foot of the Otocampulco Mountain here. This is called the "Noche Triste" or "The Night of Sorrows". There is dispute as to whether this tree is located here or in Popotla. Another legend states that during the flight of the Spanish, an image of the Virgin Mary was left under a maguey plant, where the Sanctuary of Los Remedios is today.[2]
In 1521, the fall of Tenochtitlan brought the area under Spanish control. Hernán Cortés conceded governorship of this area to Isabel Moctezuma and Alonso de Grado, naming it San Bartholome Naucalpan. Evangelization of the native peoples was carried out by the Franciscans who built the monastery of San Gabriel de Tacuba and a number of historic churches such as the Church of San Francisco de Assisi, Church of the Inmaculada Concepcion and the Church of Los Remedios. In 1574, the Temple of San Bartolome Naucalpan was built, with the towers constructed later in 1629. The area was important in colonial times for the mining of building stone, sand and gravel which was used for many constructions in Mexico City including the Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral and the National Palace.[1]
In 1810, the Virgin of the Remedios was brought here from the Mexico City Cathedral, dressed as a general. She was proclaimed as a patroness of Spain and the "guardian of the Spanish Army." Locally, she was called a "gachupina" (slang word for Spaniard). She eventually became the patroness of Naucalpan, with 450th anniversary of her finding celebrated in 1990. Her sanctuary was built in 1875.[1]
In 1821, brothers Joaquin and Bernardo Miramín founded the newspaper "Diario Militar." One of the writers for this paper was José Joaquín Fernández de Lizardi, popularly known as "El Pensador Mexicano" (The Mexican Thinker) .[1] The town remained a dependency of Tlalnepantla for much of the 19th century even though it had become an independent municipality in 1826. Industrialization began here with the founding of the Hilados and Tejidos de Rio Hondo factory, inaugurated by Benito Juarez in 1869. In 1899, the territory of Santa Cruz del Monte was added to the municipality. During the Mexican Revolution, Zapatista leaders Rafael Carrillo and Roman Diaz operated in the nearby Chimalpa mountains against federal forces.[1]
The Toreo de Cuatro Caminos was inaugurated in 1947.[2] It was the icon of the city for many years, as well as the symbol of Naucalpan's Metro station, Cuatro Caminos.[7] The building was torn down in 2009 to make way for a commercial complex.[4]
Naucalpan was officially declared a city in 1957, and the founding of Ciudad Satélite occurred in the same year. The project was completed in 1963. Its five signature towers were designed by Luis Barragán and Matias Goeritz. By 1975, Naucalpan had become one of the most industrialized cities in Mexico.[1]
The city[edit]
The city of Naucalpan is actually larger than the municipality itself, with part of it extending into neighboring Huixquilucan Municipality. At the 2010 census its total population was 913,681 inhabitants, with 792,211 of these in Naucalpan Municipality and 121,470 in Huixquilucan Municipality. Since cities, or localities, have no separate government, the two parts are governed from their respective municipalities. Within Naucalpan Municipality only the Los Remedios National Park and several ejidos remaining mostly unurbanized.[1] Over 95% of the municipality's population lives in the city proper.[8] The municipality consists of 119 neighborhoods in the city proper, 18 small villages, 71 residential developments and two rural housing developments.[9] Because of the growth of its industry, Naucalpan is one of the most important municipalities in the country.[2] Products manufactured here include foodstuffs, drinks, tobacco, clothing and textiles, wood products and paper, metals and chemicals. Industrial parks include Alce Blanco, Atoto, Industrial Naucalpan, La Perla and Tlatilco.[9]
This section's factual accuracy may be compromised due to out-of-date information. (April 2013) |
The municipality is part of Greater Mexico City and in the Valley of Mexico, sharing the air quality and other environmental problems that are prevalent in this region. Naucalpan already participates in the "Hoy No Circula" program, which restricts the use of private automobiles in Mexico City and some adjoining areas during the week and is considering extending restrictions to Saturdays as well. Its subsoil is considered to be gravely polluted, mostly due to the Bordo Poniento landfill and the sinking of the subsoil due to the over pumping of groundwater and the dumping of untreated wastewater. In addition, many small businesses such as brick making operations, public restrooms and restaurants flagrantly violate sanitation and environmental laws. However, automobiles account for 70% of the air pollution.[10] Stronger enivironmental regulations have been enacted and enforced, but this has led to the abandonment of the municipality by larger industries who have relocated to the north and west. Over 200 companies have relocated from here and neighboring municipalities Tlalnepantla and Ecatepec. Industries which have left Naucalpan include metals, cement, glass-works and others that use a large quantity of energy. About twenty percent of manufacturing facilities have closed their doors and six industrial parks are empty. In addition to environmental regulation, other actors behind this rising land and rental prices, economic slowdown and competition from Asia.[11]
Several major roadways pass through the city and municipality, which connect the Mexico City area to parts north and west, as well as other parts of the metropolitan area. The northern section of the Anillo Periférico passes through Ciudad Satélite. There have been plans to add a second level to this roadway, but local residents have been working against it. One of the concerns is that the new roadway will damage the nearby Torres de Satélite.[12] The recently built Viaducto Bicentenario highway, linking Mexico City with western Mexico State passes through Naucalpan and was the first section to begin operations. This section connects the Lomas Verdes section with Cuatro Caminos at the border of Mexico City.[13] The construction of these roadways is projected to make changes in the urban landscape of the city, attracting projects such as office buildings and commercial centers. A number of projects are already in the works. The goal is to build areas here similar to Santa Fe and Interlomas.[14] Naucalpan is strongly dependent on cars and other motorized transportation. Efforts have been made to promote bicycle use such as bike paths and free bicycle loans, but they have not been successful.[15]
One of the best-known areas of Naucalpan is Ciudad Satélite with its signature Torres de Satélite sculpture. Ciudad Satélite was one of a number of large scale projects undertaken by the federal government in the Mexico City area in the 1950s and 1960s, along with the Conjunto Habitacional de Tlaltelolco and the Ciudad Universitaria.[16] From the late 1940s to early 1950s, Mexico City began to grow towards the northern limits of the Federal District, and compelling urbanization into adjoining Mexico State. One of the projects conceived for the suburban zone of Naucalpan was a development called Ciudad Satélite. The project was headed by architect Luis Barragán in 1958 and financially backed the Banco Internacional Hipotecario.[17] The city's design and coordination was supervised by architect Mario Pani. It was designed to be a suburban community with a "green corridor" (highway lined by parks) connecting it to Mexico City proper. Attractive land prices created a boom market soon after the first units were sold in the mid 1960s, and over the next ten years, the green corridor disappeared.[16] In addition to being a major bedroom community, it has been a major shopping district since the opening of the Centro Comercial Satélite in 1962.[2]
The Torres de Satélite were constructed by architects Luis Barragan and Matias Goeritz with the collaboration of painter Jesús Reyes Ferreira in the mid 20th century. The five sculptures form prisms that range in height from thirty to fifty two meters. They are located in the traffic circle of one of the busiest roads in the State of Mexico. They were constructed to be symbols of the vanguard of world class design in Mexico and as a "welcome" of the expansion of Greater Mexico City to Naucalpan.[18] The Torres de Satélite have been catalogued by UNESCO as architectural heritage.[12]
The second best-known landmark in Naucalpan was recently demolished. The Toreo de Cuatro Caminos (lit. the Bullring of the Four Roads) was built in the 1940s in what was a hacienda.[1] Over the years, the city built up and the area around the bullring became a major local transportation hub. The northwest end of the Mexico City Metro Line 2 ends here, at a large bus station which is only a couple of blocks from the Toreo. At the Toreo itself, fifteen local bus routes as well as buses to Toluca and other points west converge here. These buses clog the surrounding streets of Ingenieros Militares, Rodolfo Gaona and San Mateo.[4] The domed roof of this bullring was a symbol of the city for many years, but in 2009, the demolition of this building began to make way for a commercial complex.[19] Most of the bus routes have been relocated for the demolition and reconstruction, and a bus terminal is being considered for the area.[4] Despite the loss of the building, the symbol of Metro Cuatro Caminos will remain a depiction of the dome.[7]
In addition to Ciudad Satélite and the Toreo, other attractions here include the Cerro Moctezuma, the Villa Alpina, the Conde y Tlatilco Pyramid, a Mexica shrine in the city center and the Museum of Naucalpan. Historic structures from the colonial period include the Caracoles, the Aqueduct, the Bridge of Santa Cruz, the arches of the Sanctuary of Los Remedos, the Parish of San Luis Tlatilco. In the city center is the Museum of the Tlatilca Culture.[1] Arena Naucalpan is a major arena in Naucalpan, Estado de México. It's long been a home for lucha libre, and is currently the central arena of IWRG. The arena hosts a lucha libre show each Thursday and Sunday.[20] The Naucalli Park occupies an area of forty three hectares and is a major natural area filled with trees and other vegetation. It also contains recreational and sporting facilities such as skating rinks, bike paths, playgrounds (naucalli) and the Casa de Cultura Naucalli.[21] The Symphony Band of Naucalpan regularly plays here at its own concert hall.[1]
The city hosts the campuses of a number of institutions of higher education. The Colegio de Ciencias y Humanidades Plantel Naucalpan is a technical college associated with UNAM. It was opened in 1971 as part of the decentralization of UNAM's activities. Most of the majors are related to science and technology.[22] Other educational institutions which have facilities in Naucalpan include the Universidad Nuevo Mundo; Universidad de Norteamérica, the Colegio en Alta Dirreción Empresarial, and the Universidad del Valle de Mexico.[23] The Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México has plans to build a campus here in 2010 as part of its expansion efforts.[24]
On Pafununcio Padilla there are two five-story buildings which are locally called "Los Esqueletos" or The Skeletons. These are two buildings which have been abandoned for thirty five years when their owner died intestate during construction. Since then they have had problems with indigents and vandalism, causing fear in neighbors. By law, the buildings pass on to the owner's sons, but they have never done the paperwork to claim them.[25]
The Virgin of Los Remedios[edit]
The patroness of the city and municipality of Naucalpan is the Virgin of Los Remedios. She is a small image of the Virgin Mary, measuring 27 cm in height. This image is strongly linked with the Spanish Conquest, especially the episode known as the "Noche Triste" or Sad Night. It is said he led his men to an indigenous religious sanctuary to escape the Aztecs, stopping here on their way to Otumba. According to legend, one of Cortés' soldiers, Gonzalo Rodríguez de Villafuerte, was carrying a small image of the Virgin Mary and hid her under one of the maguey plants in order to retrieve and pay homage to her later if he survived. During a later battle in this area, the Spanish reported seeing a young girl throwing dirt into the eyes of the Aztecs to help the Spanish. Another legend states that this image appeared at the Cerro de los Pajaros, where a chapel was built in 1574, which later was expanded in 1628 with a vaulted roof and cupola. Being connected with the Conquest, this image of the Virgin is considered to be "Spanish" and a patroness to them and to the indigenous who adopt Spanish ways. She is considered one of the Virgins who correlate with the four cardinal directions (in her case, the west), along with the Virgins of Tepeyac, of Piedad and de la Bala.[3]
Despite her importance to the area, this image was kept at the Mexico City Cathedral until 1810. In that year, she was moved to her sanctuary in Naucalpan, dressed as a general. She was proclaimed as a patroness of Spain and the "guardian of the Spanish Army."[1] The purpose of this was to counter Miguel Hidalgo's use of the Virgin of Guadalupe as a symbol of his independence movement.[3]
This image was center of one of the first annual processions to be held in Mexico, which went from the Church of Santa Veracruz in Mexico City to her home sanctuary in Naucalpan.[3] Her feast day is still celebrated on September 1, On this day, the sanctuary is profusely decorated with white flowers, which includes a carpet of flower petals in the San Miguel Arcangel esplanade.[1] This sanctuary is not located in the city proper, but in the mountainous western part of the municipality where the Los Remedios National Park stands.[26] Her feast day is celebrated with dances knowns as "Los Apaches," "Los Moros," "Chichimecas" and "Pastorcitas,"[3] with 450th anniversary of her finding celebrated in 1990.[1]
The municipality[edit]
The part of the city that lies within Naucalpan Municipality is nearly co-extensive with the municipality, with only the Los Remedios National Park and several ejidos remaining mostly unurbanized.[1] The municipality consists of 233 neighborhoods in the city proper, 18 small villages, 71 residential developments and two rural housing developments.[9] Together, these localities cover an extension of 149.86km2.[1] The municipality is located in the Valley of Mexico, just northeast of Mexico City and northwest of Mexico State capital of Toluca. The municipality borders the municipalities of Atizapan de Zaragoza, Tlalnepantla de Baz, Jilotzingo, Huixquilucan de Degollado, Xonacatlán and Lerma with the Mexico City Federal District to the east and southeast.[1]
The highest peaks are the Organo and La Malinche mountains at 3650 meters above sea level. Other notable elevations include la Cantera, El Cedral, San Joselito, La Plantación and Peña del Rayo. The main rivers through the area include the Totolina, San Lorenzo and Los Remedios. Water supply for the municipality is supplemented by 28 deep wells, and an aqueduct that brings water from the Lerma River. It has a temperate climate with a rainy season in the summer and early fall. Freezing temperatures occur between November and February, but the last significant snowfall occurred in 1967. Vegetation outside the city proper consists of conifers and oaks, with orchards of fruit trees such as plums, apples and pears. Most wildlife consists of small mammals such as squirrels and opossums along with small reptiles and birds. However, deforestation is a major problem.[1] There are eight ejidos, five of which are dedicated to agriculture and the rest to other activities. Agricultural production includes animal feed, barley, beans, corn, wheat, avocados, peaches and cactus fruit. Livestock includes cattle, pigs, sheep and domestic fowl. There is also some trout farming. Building stone, sand and gravel are still mined here. However, the overwhelming majority of the municipality's economic activity is the industry and commerce in the city proper.[1]
The major un-urbanized area of the municipality is the Los Remedios National Park, located in the far west. This park was established by decrees in 1938 by the federal government with an area of 400 hectares.[5] Within its borders is the Sanctuary of the Virgin of Los Remedios, a colonial era aqueduct and a pre-Hispanic archeological zone with a Chichimeca temple. All of these are located in and around the mountain called Cerro Moctezuma. The site was an Aztec observatory and is also believed to be where Cortés and his men rested after fleeing Tenochtitlan.[6]
The aqueduct is 500 meters long and consists of fifty arches which measure 16 meters high and extend 1.7 meters into the ground. The first stage was built in 1616 under viceroy Diego Fernandez de Cordoba with the objective of bringing water to the Sanctuary of Los Remedios from a spring at the village of San Francisco Chimalpa. This water was also used to irrigate fields in the villages of San Bartolomé, Santa Maria Nativitas and Santa Cruz. The aqueduct is mostly of clay pipes with two large spiral towers to release air. These towers flank the Sanctuary of the Virgin of Los Remedios and are nicknamed "caracoles" (snails) By 1764, the amount of water this system delivered was no longer enough and viceroy Joaquín de Monserrat had the arched system built, which was finished in 1765. Eventually, this system could not deliver water and became simply an architectural monument.[3][26]
Seventy five percent of the original surface of the park now has illegal settlements, including settlements which have been authorized by local authorities. While these settlements can be confiscated and destroyed under federal law, this has not happened. The federal environmental agency Profepa has received complaints about the most recent invasions into the park area, which as felled dozens of trees. The agency has responded with inspections of plans by a developer to build two subdivisions near the colonial era aqueduct to verify if the land is private or public. One reason for this is that the park lacks conservation plans, fences and other means to fend off development efforts.[5] The illegal settlements and development have also affected adjoining ejido land that adjoin the park.[27] This and the fact that housing is now starting to encroach the archeological zone has prompted the involvement of INAH and the organization of neighboring communities to protest.[6]

From March 10 through April 4, school-based licensed educators in all 115 North Carolina school districts and charter schools will have an opportunity to share their views regarding their working conditions on the 7th biennial statewide NC Teacher Working Conditions (TWC) Survey. The NC TWC Survey is designed to gather a variety of information from teachers, counselors, principals and other administrators about topics such as the adequacy of school facilities and resources, time, empowerment, school leadership, community support, student conduct, professional development, mentoring and induction services, and student learning. The web-based survey is voluntary, anonymous and confidential. Educators receive unique access codes that enable them to take the survey at www.ncteachingconditions.org.
"Results from past years' NC TWC Surveys have provided education policymakers and school leaders a robust roadmap to guide positive change and strengthen professional development, school improvement plans and teacher and administrator evaluations," said State Superintendent June Atkinson. "I encourage all teachers and school administrators in North Carolina to take this survey and make their mark on education in our state."
Each North Carolina school with a survey response rate of 40 percent or greater receives a results report and this data becomes a part of the school's ongoing improvement planning process. These results are one component of the on-going process for collaborative school and district improvement plans and also are used in North Carolina's educator and administrator evaluation processes.
"North Carolina should be proud of this data tool that is now used nationwide," said NCAE President Rodney Ellis. "We know from the last three surveys that educators take this survey seriously as more than 100,000 teachers have provided data on issues that are very important to their work."
The NC TWC Survey is administered by the New Teacher Center (NTC), a national nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the development of a high-quality teaching force. The NTC has conducted similar surveys in other states. Since 2009, the NTC has heard from more than 1 million educators in 26,000 schools in 18 states and select school districts. The NTC will aggregate and report results from North Carolina's 2014 survey no later than June 1.
The NC TWC Survey is conducted under the leadership of the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. For more information about this year's survey as well as results from previous years, please visit www.ncteachingconditions.org.
About the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction:
The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction provides leadership to 115 local public school districts and 126 charter schools serving over 1.5 million students in kindergarten through high school graduation. The agency is responsible for all aspects of the state's public school system and works under the direction of the North Carolina State Board of Education.

Backtracking? Rehearsing and replaying some old arguments about short-term memory
AbstractWe discuss the role of short-term auditory verbal storage within a working memory system. Data from single case studies of patients with left parietal lesions and selective impairment of memory span are discussed in order to address the question of the functions of short-term memory in language processing. The backup resource of auditory verbal short-term memory is required for those tasks that necessitate backtracking in order to integrate a verbal message within a developing central cognitive representation. |

When the futuristic Altica made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year, it turned plenty of heads - but, as we can reveal, it's much more than just a pretty face...
Not only does it preview the styling of the all-new Laguna, which goes on sale late next year, but a full production version of this wild coupé is also tipped to hit the road in 2008.
Auto Express got behind the wheel of the show star to see whether it has the potential to knock the TT off the top of the sales charts.
Combining the lithe body of a sports car and the full rear of an estate, the Altica is like nothing else on the road. Its swooping snout and gaping grille are blended with swept-up headlights and yet more air intakes to provide an aggressive appearance.
The plunging shoulder line hints at American muscle cars from the Fifties, but this is mixed with modern touches such as the air vent sculpted into the door and curved, canopy-style cockpit.
There are some extremely clever aerodynamic tweaks, too. In particular, we liked what Renault calls the Synthetic Jet, which acts like an invisible boot spoiler. The system alternately blows and sucks air through a 2mm-wide slit to control flow at the back of the car. The company says the device reduces drag by 15 per cent at 80mph.
Based on a mixture of Renault's B and C platforms - which are used by the Clio and Mégane respectively - the Altica feels surprisingly nimble on the road. Engineers predict the newcomer will charge from 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds courtesy of the same 2.0-litre turbodiesel powerplant that appears in the recently launched GT version of the current-generation Laguna.
It's practical as well, with rear seatbacks that fold flat into the floor, liberating 1,300 litres of luggage space. But the interior isn't only about function - it's just as pretty as the exterior.
The futuristic-looking instrument pod appears to float in front of the driver - it's mounted on four arms designed to resemble the suspension uprights from a Formula One race car. And once you are on the move, the enormous curved windscreen and glass roof further enhance the feeling of speed.
But the Altica is such a stunning-looking machine in the metal that it simply doesn't need these kind of gimmicks to justify itself. If this is the face of Renault's future sporting line-up, the all-new Audi TT could face some very tough competition indeed.
After the boring press pictures of the new Renault Latitude (hailed as the new Safrane/Vel Satis), which looks too like every other saloon on the planet and with no added soul or quirkiness, we're very pleased to see this info on the Altica. It's bold, unique, daring and practical. Just fit some decently beefy engines to it, please!
* As with Audi's Shooting Brake concept, the Renault Altica combines coupé styling with the practicality of an estate. The boxy rear makes room for a versatile four-seat cabin and a large luggage bay.
* Engine: 2.0 4cyl, 175bhp
* 0-60mph: 7.5 seconds
* Price: £20,000 (est)

Relationships have been developed that describe how vehicle exhaust hydrocarbon composition is influenced by hydrocarbon composition of the gasoline and by the use of various emission control systems which give a range of exhaust emission levels. The relationships were obtained by computer regression analysis of the detailed individual hydrocarbon compositions of 15 gasolines of varying aromatic and olefin content and the exhaust emissions from these fuels.
The gasolines, which consisted of five refinery-component blended fuels and ten matching commercial gasolines, were all leaded premium grade with similar octane quality and volatility characteristics. The aromatic and olefin contents of the blended gasolines were varied according to a statistical design that covered the usual variation found in commercial premium gasolines.
The vehicles in which these fuels were tested were equipped with several different types of emission control systems. These included no control device, conventional air injection and engine modification systems, and a duPont exhaust manifold reactor system capable of low exhaust emission levels.
With all four emission control systems, most of the hydrocarbons emitted were formed by degradation of fuel hydrocarbons. Regression analyses results indicate that ethylene was formed from saturates and olefins, propylene and isobutylene/1-butene were formed primarily from saturates, and diolefins were formed primarily from olefins. Toluene was the most important fuel hydrocarbon from the standpoint of contribution to calculated photochemical reactivity, and survived through the vehicle in larger proportion than the other principal fuel hydrocarbons. Along with the toluene that survived, additional amounts were formed from higher aromatics. Similarly, additional benzene and xylenes were formed from higher aromatics. Additional 2-methyl-2-butene was formed from fuel saturates.
Fuel effects on photochemical reactivity of the hydrocarbon emissions were quite small in relation to the effects of emission control systems. Calculated total photochemical reactivity of the exhaust from the thermal reactor car was only 2 to 3 percent of that of the cars with other control systems.

The Amazing Race 6 will debut Nov. 16, airing on Tuesdays, not Saturdays.
After being homeless and airdate-less for a few weeks, The Amazing Race 6 finally has a night it will call home: Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET. The show will debut with a two-hour episode on Nov. 16, directly in the middle of sweeps, the all-important ratings period when networks throw out their best material. A CBS press release notes that the fifth season "was the summer's most watched unscripted program, averaging 10.73 million viewers and culminating with 12.94 million for its Sept. 21 finale. THE AMAZING RACE 5 regularly won its summer time period in all key demographics." CBS is keeping the show on the same night that it aired over the summer, but moving it an hour earlier into the space occupied over the summer by Big Brother 5, which is currently occupied by Clubhouse. Earlier, plans were to air the series on Saturday nights starting on Sept. 26, and later Oct. 2. Then it was held indefinitely, when CBS started to think about moving it from Saturdays.

I use Skype from time to time to talk to my cousin. He's hilarious, but I don't see him very often in person. I suppose Yahoo messenger also has a video chat feature, but everyone I know uses Skype. In fact, they don't use Skype--they Skype. It has its own verb. Clearly superior.

The Dorm life is excellent for any college level student. There are movie nights, dorm decoration contests, suite decoration contest, barbecue fun day, beach fun day, and any fun you could…
I don't know about the dorm life much because I live at home with my parents…
My rating is based on the fact that I do not stay in the dorms but I have been there. The only thing I can really state is that those…
It is all right.…
The food is good.
Read MoreThere is one cafeteria on campus and a deli. The cafeteria serves three meals a day but closes around 8 pm. The deli and cafetiere open at the same time but if you have late night craving the deli would be the only place open to eat on campus; however, you can travel off campus and go to the west town of Fredericksted or the east town of Christainsted for more of a variety of eating. Anything from your favorite bar food to fine dinning.
Read MoreI cannot rate the food at UVI because I do not dine at the cafeteria.
Read MoreI've attended both campus and food on STX is great. but on STT its ok.. u gotta remember that is such diversity in people there are different ways of preparing foods
Read MoreI personally like the food they serve in the cafe, However, I think they could be a wider range of veggie dishes and meat choices.
Read MoreUneatable. It is the same stuff all day everyday, and sometimes i feel as if they serve left overs. The workers are very rude, i have seen a bug crawl out f a other students food (pasta), I have found hair in my food on numerous occasions. There is chicken everyday and it is uncooked. They need to have a health inspector ome in, and shut this place down!
Read MoreThe food is good.
Read MoreThe food on campus can be an acquired taste for some and some just acclimate into it with no problems. It's all about the appetites and diet of those participating in the dining on campus. the atmosphere is defiantly a campus environment. However, the food is according to your taste-buds.
Read MoreI have not ate at the school yet. From what I hear the food is good and reasonable.
Read MoreWe do have some Greek students who integrate into the daily live of the school and local culture just fine. They are very polite students.

Yeah another game loop, this comes from Elementar Rising 5 known as Moon which yearns for Red Lust. Basically to play during a hectic boss fight against Inchgo Dread form 2. Thought it was cool to toss up since I have to make some other stuff here soon. Anyways though I think it fits for a kind of dark battle that just tosses you all over the place.
If you use it in anything be sure to credit me and as always no selling.

Unlike many videogames, Fragments of Him only contains one death. It's a man, a man who had a life, a history, a family, loves, and losses of his own. The game's story, then, centers around those who knew him before an accident took his life. The first version of the game, while quite basic and linear, is quite powerful in places (and freely available), but developer Sassybot is aiming for something much more robust with the new version. I dutifully picked up a few fragments of new info from designer Mata Haggis. Also, I plucked a new trailer fresh from the Internet's trailer fields, and that's below.

Reparations: Fragments Of Him Receives Funding
By Adam Smith on December 12th, 2013.
Fragments of Him is a short, free game in which the player observes a man grieving for a lost love, which makes it extremely surprising that nobody at RPS has had a big cry over it yet. Despite the fact that all game journalists are contractually obliged to spend at least one hour every day pretending to be either barbarians, special ops chaps or space marines, we're a bunch of softies. I'm glad we missed this particular game first time around though because there is news of an enhanced version and having played the original today, I reckon it'd benefit greatly from a few additions. It's still well worth a look but it's easy to see the cracks that could be plastered over with a little more development time.

About John Bunch
Not the same person who married Mary Barnard.
Slave of Samuel Harwood, Jr.
John Bunch, the probable patriarch of the oldest and most extensive Bunch lineage in America, first appears in records from Lancaster County on the Northern Neck of Virginia, dated to 1654. These records locate him around the area of present day Kilmarnock, Virginia. Somewhat later (1662), a John Bunch (probably the same person) acquired 450 acres of land in New Kent County, Virginia, across the Rappahannock River from Lancaster County. This parcel was probably located south of the York River in the general area of West Point, Virginia (perhaps near Barhamsville).
From subsequent records for early Virginia Bunches (and from current DNA evidence), John Bunch was probably an Afro-European mulatto. His father was likely born in western Africa and would have been one of the earliest Africans in English colonial Virginia. In the early colonial period, the instituion of racially based slavery had not been fully established and in many cases African "importees" were treated like European indentured servants: They were released after serving a specified period of bondage. This would explain how John Bunch came to be a free, land-owning African-American in seventeenth century colonial Virginia. It even appears from later records that some of John Bunch's descendants came to acquire African slaves of their own.
It remains a mystery how this African paternal line acquired a British surname, but one likely possibility is that John Bunch took his last name from his European mother. That the origins of the Virginia Bunch family were bound up with early (1662) anti-miscegenation laws in colonial Virginia is clearly shown by the case brought before the Virginia Council in 1705 by a later John Bunch (probably the son or grandson of the patriarch) and his intended spouse, Sarah Slayden.
Whether the issue begotten on a White woman by a Mulatto man can properly be called a Mulatto, that name I conceive being only appropriated to the Child of a Negro man begotten upon a white woman or a white man upon a negro woman, and as I am told the issue of a Mulatto by or upon a white person has another name viz. that of Mustee?

From covering Prince and Metallica to creating new original songs, the Prairie Fire Lady Choir has found its voice.
If moods were cars, the Prairie Fire Lady Choir would have brakes suitable for NASCAR.
An indicator of how well the 40-member rock 'n' roll-flavored vocal group balances cool, casual fun with rich emotional depth, the choir went from high- revving laughter to a muted stillness in a matter of seconds during rehearsals last week at McNally Smith College of Music in St. Paul.
The abrupt halt came as PFLC member Lisa Heyman explained the origins of a song she wrote for the choir, a mostly amateur group that has been teaching its members to express themselves over the past six months.
"I wrote this about two young people who passed away," said Heyman, whose own kids were friends with the deceased.
Titled "Porch Light" — "I'll leave the light on," goes the refrain — the song would be a moving tribute in the hands of any solitary folk singer. It sparks a whole other level of emotion coming from the mouths of 40 women tenderly singing in unison.
A group that made its mark reinventing songs by Prince, Metallica, TLC and Magnetic Fields, the Prairie Lady Fire Choir is in the midst of change.
The choir started informally four years ago in the living room of 89.3 the Current DJ Jacquie Fuller (she is no longer a member), and has performed everywhere from community centers and garlic festivals to the Zombie Pub Crawl and First Avenue. On Friday, the PFLC takes over the Cedar Cultural Center to debut a batch of 14 original songs.
Titled "The Songbird Sessions," Friday's performance is the culmination of a series of songwriting workshops — paid for with a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council — which paired the choir's members with popular local singer/songwriters such as Aby Wolf, Chastity Brown and Dessa.
"It's amazing to see what can happen when everyone is on board" with an original song, said Wolf, who wrote five of PFLC's original tunes and helped arrange and compose others. It's quite a feat, writing for 40 singers instead of just one, she said.
"It really took me a while to tune my attention to remembering what it was like to be in a choir back in high school and junior high, and what some of those songs really sounded like and how they filled out, how different lines moved against each other."
Watching from the wings as the troupe ran through "Porch Light" in McNally Smith's auditorium, Wolf was beaming as she whispered, "She had never written a song before, and this is what she came up with."
The choir member in charge of the "Songbird" project, Annette Schiebout, believes the songs that came out of the workshops were already festering below the surface.
"We had to get around the vulnerability involved with writing a song and opening yourself up creatively like that," she said.
Other songs include Wolf's eerie-to-elegant epic "Floodgate," Schiebout's would-be anthem for the group, "Not a Good Man," and a lovely one that Leah Lemm wrote about becoming a mom, "We Can Be."
"In the end, the songs are all very different — as diverse, really, as the choir itself," Schiebout said.
There are actually about 60 members, but only about 40 usually perform. They range in age from 22 to mid-60s. When they're not moonlighting with the choir, they are scientists, lawyers, stay-at-home moms, marketing professionals, massage therapists, you name it.
Only a few have been professional musicians, including jazz vocalist Bobbi Miller and singer/songwriters Niki Becker and Laura Borgendale (the latter two have since flown the coop).
"None of us were comfortable being rock stars, but we wanted to start a band," Schiebout said.

Beneath the super-nova news coverage of Casey Anthony and the Sofitel housekeeper, UN Women this week drew attention to the lower-profile, more widespread problem of women who drop efforts to obtain justice.
Other suggestions include extending laws to household life to prevent domestic violence, escalating research and awareness of domestic sexual violence, supporting quotas for female representation in politics and courts and implementing laws such as Sweden's non-transferable "daddy months," or paternal leave, that narrowed the pay gap there.
The recommendations work within the framework of the 1979 Convention on Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women, or CEDAW, and the Millennium Development Goals, global promises made in 2000 to be reached by 2015.
Authors emphasize that governments and communities must be held accountable to the development commitments they have made to girls and women.
But when reporters pressed Bachelet at a July 6 press conference for ways UN Women is pushing countries' accountability, she offered no specifics. "It's not only about meeting with countries," she responded. It's about "encouraging decision-making authority for women. . . We have to work with the judicial system."

When Joe Driscoll toed the line at the U.S. Men's Olympic Marathon Trials in November, he knew that maintaining an even pace would be trickier than usual on the rolling hills of New York City's Central Park. So instead of checking his splits every mile, as he normally would, he paid attention to how he felt, only looking at his watch every 5-K. "Instead of surging the hills to keep pace, I kept the same effort and let any time lost on the uphills come back on the downside," says Driscoll, 28, of Blowing Rock, North Carolina. The result was a personal record of 2:18:22.
Driscoll knew that in order to race well, he needed to run at the right intensity. If he had insisted on sticking to a 5:20-per-mile pace, he might have missed coming in under 2:19. The same principle applies during training. "Every workout has a goal," says Dennis Barker, coach of the elite running group Team USA Minnesota. "That goal might be recovery or to improve your lactate threshold, but if you don't run at the heart-rate zone that corresponds with those goals, you won't achieve the training effect."
So how exactly do you determine the right effort for every workout? Barker's athletes primarily use heart rate. Driscoll and his fellow runners at Zap Fitness in North Carolina favor perceived effort. Both methods are effective; choose one or the other, or a mix of both, and you'll soon learn how to hit your target every time.
Beat It
Measuring your heart rate–whether with a monitor or taking your pulse for 10 seconds–is an objective, numbers-don't-lie way of peeking inside your body to see how hard it's working. It was the tool Carrie Tollefson, a 2004 Olympian and member of Team USA Minnesota, needed to improve her running. "She wore a heart-rate monitor on easy days to make sure she was running in the recovery zone," says Barker. The slower pace allowed her to increase her weekly mileage from 60 to 90, which ultimately helped her shave 47 seconds off the 5000 meters to a new personal best of 15:04.
Hitting a "zone" means falling within a particular percentage of your maximum heart rate during every workout–for example, 65 to 70 percent for recovery runs and 88 to 92 percent for tempo workouts. Athletes like Tollefson who use heart rate say that precision is key: Unless you know what, say, 70 percent feels like, you could be running at 75, which may feel easy but is outside your target zone. For elites, recovery is where monitoring heart rate can make a significant difference, says Barker. Measuring heart rate may help mere mortals make the extra effort during interval work.
Find Your Perfect Heart Rate Training Zone
Measuring your intensity will make every run count--and it isn't just for elites

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin continues to be a highly polarizing figure, with a whopping 57 percent viewing her unfavorably according to a new poll.
The Bloomberg survey, released Monday, also found that the negative feelings about Palin are particularly strong. A third -- 33 percent -- said they view Palin "very unfavorably." That's the same percentage that viewed her favorably cumulatively -- respondents who either viewed her "somewhat" or "very" favorably (!).
The survey results indicate that Palin faces a significant image problem as she decides to run for president.
Just look at how Pres. Obama's numbers compare. Obama scored a net negative job approval rating -- 48 percent said they disapprove of his performance as president while 47 percent approved, which is in line with other polls and shows the Bloomberg survey isn't a particularly good poll for the president. However, 52 percent view Obama favorably while 44 percent view him unfavorably.
More troubling for Palin is that it may be tough for her to change that perception. Only 10 percent are unsure of their opinion of her.
Notably, the Democratic Party (48 percent favorable, 33 percent unfavorable), the GOP (43 percent favorable, 48 percent unfavorable) and even the Tea Party (37 percent favorable, 41 percent unfavorable) all received higher marks than Palin.
The Bloomberg poll was conducted Dec. 4 to 7, surveyed 1,000 U.S. adults and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percent.

Many individuals are bothered by the appearance of the upper arms, whether due to age or weight loss. Excess skin and fat can lead to a loose, flabby appearance which some refer to as "bat wings". The arm lift, technically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure which reshapes the underside of the arm for a smoother, firmer, more youthful appearance that is more proportionate to the rest of the body. During surgery, excess skin and fat are removed from the underside of the upper arm between the elbow and underarm area.
Arm lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The incision is placed on the inside or back of the arm and the length will depend on the degree of correction needed. For more extensive procedures, the incision may extend from the underarm to just above the elbow. For less extensive procedures, the incision may be smaller. Working through the incision, Dr. Rosas tightens and reshapes the underlying tissues and removes excess skin before closing the incision. If excess fat is present, it is removed with liposuction techniques.
After Surgery: What to Expect
Patients will see immediate improvement after surgery, but results will get better as the bruising and swelling fade. Dressings and bandages may be applied to the arms after surgery along with drainage tubes to collect excess fluid. You may be advised to elevate the arms for the first few days and to wear compression garments. Patients generally find that they can return to work within one to two weeks.
Possible Complications
As with all surgery, there are potential risks associated with the arm lift and these may include excess scarring, bleeding, infection, adverse anesthesia reactions, poor wound healing, blood clots, numbness and asymmetry. Carefully following your surgeon's pre- and post-operative instructions can help to minimize your risks.

The Impact of Deuterated CMOS processing on Gate Oxide Reliability
Hof, A.J. and Hoekstra, E. and Kovalgin, A.Y. and Schaijk, R. van and Baks, W.M. and Schmitz, J. (2005) The Impact of Deuterated CMOS processing on Gate Oxide Reliability. IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices, 52 (9). pp. 2111-2115. ISSN 0018-9383
209kB |
Abstract: | In recent literature, a controversy has arisen over the question whether deuterium improves the stability of the MOS gate dielectric. In particular, the influence of deuterium incorporation on the bulk oxide quality is not clear. In this letter, deuterium or hydrogen is introduced during either the gate oxidation, postoxidation anneal, and/or the postmetal anneal (PMA). The oxide bulk degradation was evaluated using charge-to-breakdown and stress-induced leakage current; and the oxide interface degradation using hot-carrier degradation and low-frequency noise. The obtained results show that the oxide bulk does not benefit from the presence of deuterium, regardless of the stage of deuterium introduction, or the gate oxide thickness. The oxide interface is more stable only when deuterium is introduced in the PMA. |

HOME > Sweden
Looking for a certain place? click directly on the underlined town on the map!!
Stockholm (Sweden)
march 2001-january 2002
MY STAY (Impressions)
Midnight sun
Winter night
Gotland island
Kayak trip in the arcipelago
What I did: living and a little bit travelling around
When: march 2001-january 2002
How I moved: mainly by train, bus, kayak, boat and hitch hiking
Where I slept: student house in Stockholm, while travelling tent and youth hostel
How much: my god how much is expensive Sweden!!!!!! travel cost not less than 40 euro/day (apart kayaking in the arcipelago that is cheaper)
Baking or freezing? I hope you are prone to chilly weathers, but frankly what made me dizzier was the sun during the summer time.
Dangers: spend too much
What I liked: wildlife, kayaking in the arcipelago, the north in the winter time with its ice hotel, rollerblading in the main square of charming Stockholm, and living with people from 6 differrent countries, ah.... I was forgetting the salty liquorice, I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What I disliked: how tough is to have friends
What you do need: being able to appreciate the nature and to have money!!
It was years that I thought to experience to live abroad besides just travelling for, at most, one month. The best would have been to carry out my thesis project for the university somewhere in Europe; given I'm fond of north european countries, I choose to try to apply for Sweden, and finally I was accepted. I was excited by the idea to leave my italian everyday life to dive in, what I was sure would have been, my life's most interesting experience. Actually it was!
I got a room in the outskirts of Stockholm (in Lappis for those that know), sharing the kitchen and the living room with some guys (two sweds, a german and a france) and a bunch of girls (one from Kurdistan, two armenians, one greek, one france and two sweds). It was a mess but I had great fun. I work hardly in the labs of the mechanical department freaking out to align lasers in the wind tunnel (P.I.V. for those that know). I showed off rollerblading with some friends in the main square in Stockholm every saturday till the temperature dropped below the 0 C, then I started ice skating almost every evening in the ice-ring in downtown. And what about the travels:
in June to the middle of Sweden to visit a friend of mine home (Sundsvall)
in midsummer (23rd June) beyond the polar circle to admire the midnight sun
in July a 15 days kayak trip in the huge swedish arcipelago in the Baltic sea
in November to Helsinky spending a crazy saturday night on the boat where sobers are not allowed :-)
in december beyond the polar circle to experience the darkness of the winter over the polar circle
IMPRESSIONS about the people
During these ten months Sweds wholly confirmed to me their reputation of reliable, serious and respectful people; I envy them for their respect to the wildlife and generally to the common things (they should teach it to italians). This, summed to a widespread wealth (few people with many resources), determines an average high standard of life, shown, for example, by the number of public services and their efficiency, incomparable with the italian ones. Nevertheless, despite I strained, I didn't managed to have many friends and, trying to build friendships, most of the times I felt like bumping against a wall. I think it's just a different way to get in confidence in the relationships.
IMPRESSIONS about the wildlife
Concerning the wildlife for me living in Sweden has been a ten months long dream.

And what about the four hours long twilight that lights the snowy land in the north of Sweden during the deep winter? Once I read that Stockholm is considered one of the most beautiful world's capital, I perfectly agree with it.

Ecstatic with my results!
Dr Hsu is a true artist at what he does, always professional but has the knack of making you feel like you have known him for a long time. I would recommend him to any one and would use him again if i wanted to do any other nips and tucks.
